. >> obama administration has doubled the no-fly list we should note. this came from an ap report. to about 21,000 names. secret lists of suspected terrorist whose are banned from flying to or within the united states. the flood of new names began after the failed christmas 2009 bombing of a detroit-bound jetliner. the government lowered the standard for putting people on the list. james, we're talking about what's outrageous about this. i can absolutely 1,000% understand that exact reasoning. you think how the heck did we let this guy get on a plane and so people say let's err on the side of caution, let's err on making the list bigger than smaller and the worst that happens some people get deprived of their ability to fly. what's wrong with that logic? >> it's not erring on the side of caution this is err on the scale of fear. we're into like five digits. this is something that's happening with the drug war, something that's happening with no-fly lists, something happening with kill lists and this is the way the system works. when you build this system you create an architecture

so why the leak of an obama plan? >> yeah, well, first of all i think this is something that is worth keeping in mind through all the big policy debates coming up. for instance, look at sequester and potentially another grand bargain where obama says he wants to balance the approach, more tax revenue and the republican response to that is always okay, now be specific, put a plan forward. this is what is going to happen if obama puts a plan forward on the entitlements and everything else. they're going to immediately reject it. that said, i think there is a dance here. it is a really messed up, screwed up dance that will ultimately get us to a kind of immigration reform. basically, if the psychology of the republican party, can't be obama-led or obama's bill, it can't be obama leading the republicans around. it could be obama putting the plan out, republicans talking about how it is tyranny, king obama, everything they're doing now. eventually, maybe a week or month from now, whatever it is, they come back with somethi

tonight monday of president obama's inauguration, the first day president obama outlined this wide ranging liberal agenda for his second term, that same day there was a drone strike in yemen. and that drone strike on inauguration day followed drone strikes in yemen on both days of the weekend that preceded inauguration day. so we had drone strikes on saturday and on sunday and on monday, the monday the president was sworn in. it doesn't really make the news. one of the most unusual things about drone strikes for us as citizens in a country that does this is that for so long our country would not admit that we did them, even when we all knew that we did. that was the case. that did not change officially until april of last year. april 2012. and the person the administration put forth to do that, to admit that policy for the first time publicly was john brennan. >> so let me say it as simply as i can. yes, in full accordance with the law and in order to prevent terrorist attacks on the united states and to save american lives, the united states government conducts targeted strikes against sp
